Through The Trees


At Kings Landing
 I was looking through some of the photos I took last summer and decided to post one from them. I may post a few more in the upcoming days, but for now I'll just stick to this one.

On this particular day, it was very hot and obviously sunny. It was definitely not the best time to take photos because of the harsh light, but I still like the shots I took (well, most of them anyway). I hope to get back to Kings Landing again this summer, and hopefully it won't be so hot and sunny - maybe a nice cloudy and not so hot day :o).

It's always fun to do selective focus !
And Shelley, regarding HDR (High Dynamic Range) ...

HDR's are created my taking multiple LDR (Low Dynamic Range) shots exposed for the highlights, mid-tones and shadows seperately and then merged into a single image.

To capture HDR is very simple, (you may need a tripod unless you hand is really sturdy taking multiple shots) ...
Switch your camera to take multiple shots of -1, 0, +1 exposure compensation. When you take the 3 shots consecutively, the shots are taken with the 3 different exposure compensations. You can even shoot with -2, -1, 0, +1, +2. Usually this setting is called "Bracketing". You can even bracket the Aperture!
If your camera cannot combine photos into one, then you have to need to software, I understand the advanced software such as Photoshop is better. Have fun.
I use Photomatix to combine the shots I take to create the HDR!
have fun !
